Assessment of the Role of the Central DNA Flap in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Replication by Using a Single-Cycle Replication System
27 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
In this study, reverse transcriptase (RT)- and integrase (IN)-defective human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) was transcomplemented with Vpr-RT-IN fusion proteins to delineate pol sequences important for HIV-1 replication. Our results reveal that a 194-bp sequence encompassing the 3'end of the IN gene and containing the central DNA flap is necessary and sufficient for efficient HIV-1 single-cycle...
